Chapter 2, Department of Defense Activity Address Directory

b. ADC 298, DoDAAD Enhancements

4. APPROVED CHANGE(S):

a. Brief Overview of Change: Remove the combatant command (COCOM) field from 

the Routing Identifier Code (RIC) table.

b. Background: In September of 2008, ADC 298 (Reference 3.b) added a collection of 

disparate changes to the DoDAAD. One of those changes was to associate the geographic

COCOM to the DoDAAC. The COCOM was associated to the Type Address Code (TAC) 2 

(Shipping) of the DoDAAC to assist with tracking of material during transport. Subsequent to 

that change, the COCOM was also associated to the RIC. The RIC change likely occurred due to 

the fact the DoDAAC and RIC share the same database table. This, however, was a mistake, and 

this change serves to remove that mistake. 

c. Approved Change in Detail: Remove the COCOM field from the RIC record and all 

the places where it is currently used (RIC update, DAASINQ, eDAASINQ, file downloads and 

syndication).

d. Revisions to DLM 4000.25 Manuals: No update to DLMS Volume 6, Chapter 2 is 

required. The COCOM to RIC relation is not mentioned in DoDAAC manual.

e. Alternatives: None

5. REASON FOR CHANGE: The RIC is not used for shipping, as it is not a transportation 

code. It is thus erroneous to associate a COCOM to a RIC.

6. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

a. Advantages: Removes irrelevant data from the RIC. 

b. Disadvantages: None noted.

7. ESTIMATED TIME LINE/IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: Authorized for immediate 

implementation when this DLMS change is released as an ADC. Target timeline for DAAS

updates to the DoDAAD is 90 days from the publication of the ADC.

8. ESTIMATED SAVINGS/COST AVOIDANCE ASSOCIATED WITH 

IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CHANGE: The cost savings is unknown. This change is to 

correct a known mistake.

9. IMPACT:

a. New DLMS Data Elements: None

b. Changes to DLMS Data Elements: None.

c. Automated Information Systems (AIS): Any systems using the COCOM data from 

the RIC will be impacted by this change. 

d. DAAS: Set COCOM to null in the RIC field/table and remove the trigger that 

maintains the COCOM in the RIC. Changes will be required to the following:

(1) Remove COCOM from RIC in the RIC update, DAASINQ, eDAASINQ and 

downloads.

(2) Remove dropdown list from eDAASINQ to select COCOM value for search

when searching for a RIC record.
